I used this antibody to stain human cells that were lentivirally transduced to express a mouse receptor on their cell surface. I also used this to estimate the frequency of cells that successfully incorporated the gene of interest and expressed the encoding protein on their surface. The cells were stained in a 1:250 dilution of the antibody at 4 degrees celcius for 30 minutes and washed before analysis using flow cytometry on the alexa-fluor 647 channel. The figure shows that almost 75% of the cells expressed this receptor. However, even the negative population seems to have shifted around half log in fluorescence suggesting some background staining. I purified the positive population and confirmed expression at a later time. I would recommended a titration of the antibody for first time users.
Flow Cytometry
PBMC purified human T cells
1:250 dilution for 30 minutes on ice
NA
Flow cytometry on Alexa-fluor647 channel
The figure shows almost 75% of the cells expressing the mouse receptor. These positive cells were sort purified and cultured for another 7 days without the transduction agent. The stability of expression was confirmed and more than 98% of the cells maintained expression, confirming the specificity of this antibody.
None
Low concentration required, stable for months
Some background issues
An inexpensive and highly specific antibody that can be stored for a long time in glycerol.
